Moving files directory?
by Roy Smith 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

I did a dumb thing. When I first installed my site on my hosting service, I unpacked the tarball in the wrong place. Instead of unpacking it in ~/sitename, I unpacked it in ~/sitename/drupal-5.3/. I ran like that for a while then decided to move the whole drupal directory tree one level up. Now, I get complaints that "The directory files is not writable". Only now have I noticed the warning, "Changing this location after the site has been in use will cause problems so only change this setting on an existing site if you know what you are doing." Ooops. What do I need to do to fix the problem? -- roy(a)panix.com

Using drupal_http_request()
by Steve Edwards 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

I've jumped in to finish up a site that someone else started (yee ha!), and I need to do two things with the user registration data: 1) Add some custom fields to the user registration form (i.e. address/city/state/zip, job title, occupation, company, etc.) 2) Use the data to add the user to an embedded mail list manager program (Oempro by Octeth). Oempro can generate a script that adds the data to their database, and I can post to that script. I modified the user registration form and added fields using hook_form_alter(), and that works fine. The next step is to use hook_user() when $op == 'insert' to post the user data to the Oempro script using drupal_http_request(). This brings up two issues: 1) How can I access the user data in hook_user()? Is it part of $user at that point, or would it be in $edit? Or another place? 2) How do I use drupal_http_request()? Unfortunately I'm not very familiar with HTTP headers or with this function, so I'm not sure what to do. For instance, do I put the form data (assuming I can get to it in hook_user()) to the $data parameter in array form? And what do I put in the $header variable for a request like this? Thanks. Steve

book module
by Sarah.Vardy＠student.griffith.edu.au 21 Nov '07

21 Nov '07

I'm trying to alter this query in the book module: <?php $node_result = db_query(db_rewrite_sql('SELECT n.nid, n.title, b.parent FROM {node} n INNER JOIN {book} b ON n.vid = b.vid WHERE n.nid = %d'), $nid); if (db_num_rows($node_result) > 0) { $node = db_fetch_object($node_result); } ?> To this: <?php $node_result = db_query(db_rewrite_sql('SELECT n.nid, n.title, b.parent, f.filepath FROM {node} n INNER JOIN {book} b ON {n.vid = b.vid} n join {image_attach} nr on (n.nid = nr.nid)INNER JOIN {files} f ON nr.iid = f.nid WHERE n.nid = %d && f.filename = 'thumbnail''), $nid); if (db_num_rows($node_result) > 0) { $node = db_fetch_object($node_result); } ?> and then add a parameter in the function call: <?php return theme('book_export_html', check_plain($node->title), $node->$content, $node->filepath); ?> and then add this parameter to the function arguments: <?php function theme_book_export_html($title, $content) ?> and then of course print it... This is the error I'm getting in the apache logs: [Wed Nov 21 23:40:54 2007] [error] [client 132.234.220.196] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /www/itnews2/modules/book/book.module on line 651 Anybody have any suggestions?

Re: [support] Re-ordering roles on access control page?
by Michelle Cox 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

What I do is copy the names of the roles into notepad2, size it to cover the roles on the page, and set it to stay on top. That provides a static header. Hacky, but it works. :) Michelle On 11/19/2007 3:13:32 PM, Roy Smith (roy(a)panix.com) wrote: > I know this is a slightly trivial thing, but is there any way to re-order > the columns in the access control page (admin/user/access)?

View themes are overtaking my template.php file, other alternatives?
by Eric McKenna 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

My template.php file is made up of about 70% view themes. Now I Could certainly just move all the view themes to another file and include that file but was wondering if anyone else had tried something different. One thing we are kicking around is putting each view theme in its own file and having a master file of all the includes which would be included by template.php. Thoughts?

Re: [support] Re-ordering roles on access control page?

Do you know that you can edit permissions for one role at a time, by going to User management -> Roles? I find this much easier.

They come out in order "administrator", "anonymous", "authenticated" (are they just alphabetized?). This makes it a little confusing, since they are not sorted in order of most to least privileged. The problem is compounded because the column heads are only shown at the top of the page. When it scrolls off the top of the visible area, you're left looking at a bunch of checkboxes with no visible labels and no logical ordering. This is kind of confusing :-) At some point, I intend to add a 4th role, "editor", which will have privileges less than administrator but more than authenticated user.

views: filter on a date field
by Davide Galletti 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

Hi all, I am a beginner with views ... I have a module which handles a custom node my table: ... date_start_application date NOT NULL, date_end_application date NOT NULL, ... mymodule_views_tables() { ... 'fields' => array( .... 'date_start' => array( 'name' => 'Sperimentazione: Data inizio', 'sortable' => TRUE, 'handler' => 'views_handler_field_date', 'help' => t('Data di inizio della pubblicazione') ), 'date_end' => array( 'name' => 'Sperimentazione: Data fine', 'sortable' => FALSE, 'handler' => 'views_handler_field_date', 'help' => t('Data di fine della pubblicazione') ) .... ... 'filters' => array( ... 'date_start' => array( 'name' => 'Sperimentazione: Data inizio', 'operator' => 'views_handler_operator_gtlt', 'help' => t('Consente di filtrare in base alla data di inizio della sperimentazione.'), ), 'date_end' => array( 'name' => 'Sperimentazione: Data fine', 'operator' => 'views_handler_operator_gtlt', 'help' => t('Consente di filtrare in base alla data di fine della sperimentazione.'), ) ) QUESTION: I need to view only nodes where date_start <= now() AND date_end >= now() I created a view with UI entering "now()" and the query generated by view module goes: (sperimentazioni.date_start <= 'now()') AND (sperimentazioni.date_end >= 'now()') which of course doesn't work; which is the right way to do it? Thanks, Davide

retrieving key from selection list
by Andreas Deininger 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

Hi, using CCK, I defined a field with a selection list inside one of my custom content types. In the allowed value list, I gave several key-label pairs in the syntax "key|label." Afterwards, I've defined a new view, filtering my custom content type and providing a page of all instances as list view. I also themed the field values in the list provided from the view by adding some code in template.php of my theme. So far so good. I basically achieved what I wanted. There is only one thing left: I would like to get the key of the selected key-labal pair in my themed list view. Inside my template.php, the expression <?php print ($node->field_unternehmenssparte[0][value]); ?> provides the value of the field with the selection list (which translates to the label from the selection list), but I don't know how to get the key of the selection list. my node looks like: stdClass Object ( [nid] => 70 [vid] => 70 ... [field_unternehmenssparte] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [value] => Automobilhersteller ) ) ... I can't see a key there, only the value (=label) itself. Is there a way to get hold of the key from the key|label pair? Any hint is appreciated. Thanks in advance Andreas
